FSB Director Aleksandr Bortnikov also said that many of them have fought in Syria.
"Especially worrying is redeployment of terrorist groups into northern provinces of Afghanistan," Bortnikov said, according to RT.
The FSB chief was addressing heads of ex-Soviet intelligence services in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, saying also that "terrorist cells are now infiltrating into former Soviet countries where they are forming ties with organized crime."
